Football Weekends

What a gorgeous sunny, but cold day in good ole Rhody! I have a four hour shift at the store today so I'm gonna grab some food and head out to the job. The Patriots don't play until tomorrow night on Monday Night football. So that's one less thing that I have to think about today. I don't even want to think about that game, I'm just thinking positive thoughts and hoping for the best. I know its just a game, I have to tell myself that over and over because I take it way too personally.

Before heading out to the job on Saturday, I was able to catch the first half of the Florida Gators vs. the Florida Seminoles on CBS. It was the last home game for college football's super nova Tim Tebow. I watched as each of the seniors had their moment and was introduced. When they showed Tebow just before he was introduced I got all emotional (I AM that girl who cries at Hallmark commercials) when I saw his eyes brimming with tears.

I've never seen this kind of attention, accolades and scrutiny for any other college football player. He is admired and criticized for both his game and religious stand, and at every turn that young man has shown nothing but class.

Inappropriate Crushes

What's good this dreary Saturday? The forecast calls for a rain ALL day, so I'll will remain indoors and will continue my home cleaning and organization. I will also be watching a couple of college football games and eating Chinese take out. Don't be jealous darlings.

I'm particularly interested in the Florida Gator and S Carolina Gamecocks game in the late afternoon. While Tim Tebow is the superstar of the Gators, my favorite boy is Riley Cooper the Gators receiver. He is my inappropriate crush. Inappropriate because he is only 22 and I am over 22.Sunday morning I will be at a mandatory (paid) work meeting. Kinda stinks as I will be missing Sunday service. Its a three hour meeting, hopefully there will be provisions.

The Patriots will be in Indianapolis this weekend to play those undefeated Colts. I really dislike the Colts, as much as I adore and admire their former coach Dungy I loathe this team. To be fair, I loathe all teams and wish them all misfortune. Its not reasonable or rational but its how I've always been. Last season a game between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Cincinnati Bengals resulted in a tie of 13-13. If every NFL game ended in that manner it would warm the cockles of my heart.

Anywhoo. The Patriots game is a Sundaynighter on NBC, so I'll be bracing myself through Keith Oberman and Dan Patricks tag team ramblings. And I actually like them both, but they are a little too cute on the Sunday Night pre-game. Not fun to watch, almost uncomfortable actually.

This Week in Sports

This is what I've paid attention to this past week in sports. Everything else is mute.

The Celtics are 4-0 stifling teams with their defense. Glenn Davis has apologized for getting into a fight with a friend before the season opener, which lead to him breaking his thumb. Sometimes boys are dumb.

With real no real offense to speak of the Phillies lose to the Yankees in last nights game 3 of the World Series. They play game 4 tonight at Citizens Bank Park on FOX.

The Florida Gators took The Georgia Bulldogs out with a win in at home in the Swamp. Even though the Gators were 8-0 coming into this game with Georgia, it seems folks aren't happy with the Gators lack of points scored. I say: Whateves. A win is a win. With this win against the Bulldogs Timmy Tebow broke Herschel Walker's Southeastern Conference record for rushing touchdowns.

The Patriots made a trip across the pond to London and won their game against the woeful Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the throwback uniforms. The Pats have a bye this week so they can get some much deserved rest and prepare for the Dolphins.
